Titan. A woman in dishabilIe stood
few feet off. "This will cost you $15,-
000," remarked the swindier coolly. The
stock operator, who had moved in good
society, surrendered at once. He had
$4,000 with him and wrote 8 check for
$4,000. Then he left. He paid the
check. After the door closes on a man

woman to make any assertion which she
pleases; society is ready to believe the

A Boston fair one-or, perhaps, consid-
ering the circumstances, = should say Sun
fair'' one-whose charms nearly seventy
years have somewhat Dlighted, has been
at fashionable winter resort
for several weeks for the good of her
health and spirits. Her toilets have ri
vailed the late Mrs. Stewards in
and expense, and
her make up has been all
that blooming two and twenty might
in safety swear to. Perpetual youth
reigned on her toilet table and reflected
itself in the waviest tresses of ebon hue,
p achy cheeks and coral lips, skillful dem
tistry and all those means of grace en-
plOyed by women who hate to grow old.
laces on the head and about
the throat and diamonds everywhere
softened these painted facts, and the near
sighted world exclaimed, "What well
dowager!" The other morning
even the blindest vis-a-vis was forced to
admit something was wrong in the con-
struction. What had happened no one
precisely knew until chance brought q
keen-eyed young sinner to the breakfast
table. After saying grace-or something
else-in her naskin she leaned forward
with bland smile, and holding something
between her thumb and finger, said:
"Good morning, Mrs. Racemere. be-
lieVe this is your eyebrow"

T East and West, North and South.
from every direction, comes the same
story of advancing prices in real estate.
Naturally we feel inclined to stop and
inquire into the causes Of this phenome-
nal activity. 1t does not have its ori-
gin in that feverish spirit of specula-
tlon which selZcS communities every
now and then, or else it would be more
local in its character. The fact that it
is so universal goes to show that there
is well deigned, cause for it, and that
cause lies IN the plain, practical busi-
ness principle that money will seek in
vestment where it is safest to invest.
Real estate is the safest security that is
offered to the investor, and that is why
so much capital is being salted down in
that manner. The passage of the in
terstate commerce bill has had an un-
mistakable tendency to check railway
speculation. The opportunities tor
watering stock and the thousand and
one other devices of railway;manipula-
tors to make large fortunes out of
small investments are past. There is
no more future for the railway specula-
tore The determination manifested by
the people to put and keep the corpora
tions under government control has
pretty effectually eliminated. that un-
healthy foam of speculation from the
business of the country. In glancing
over the field the capitalist sees but
one real secure form of investment. 1t
is real estate. There is something that
nothing short Of an earthquake can dis
turb. Interstate commerce bills can
not deprive the owner OF real estate
from an absolute control of his proper
ty. 1t may not pay as big dividends as
railway and mining stocks, but its value
is nowise affected by state and national
Legislature. Commerce may fail, mines
may close, banks may suspend, the
spindle and the loom may stop work,
but the earth remains. The money in
vested in real estate is planted in solid
ground which is immoyable. 1t is easy
to understand why, in the uncertain
conditions of commercial life at this
time, capital should seek a safe resting
place until the clouds have rolled by,
and its owners can see more clearly in
to the future. Up to this time the
activity in the real estate market is
confined principally to the cities and
towns. Later on it will extend into
the rural sections, where its benefits
Will be most perceptible. Whenever
capital is devoted to the development
of the agricultural interests the coun-
try is then getting down to a basis Of
permanent prosperity Agriculture is
the foundation upon which all the
other industries rest. Capital cannot
go astray when it is invested in real
estate. and it becomes a positive nation
al benefit when it is engaged in OPEN
ing up the agricultural resources of a
country. So that the croakers who
predict that the present boom in real
estateis a menace to the business of
the country they do not know what
they are talking. 1tis the healthiest
form that speculation has taken for
many long day.

lied as the last analysis OF its work to
secure total abstinence for the indiyid-
ual. Whatever will best encourage
this, we help with all our might. What
ever opposes this we oppose with equal
vlgor. In harmony with the genius Of
our organization, therefore, we favor
only such teaching, books, charts, dia-
grams, etc, as decidedly emphasize the
physiological phases of the temperance
movement, which lead to the clearest
and strongest convictions OF the dang
erous. because poisonous, nature of
alcoholic drinks, and of their effect up.
on the humane system.
We do not understand that the recent
legislationb by congress, and over score
of states, was for the sake of having
physiology, as such, taught in the
schools, or of having it taught in such
a way as to put small emphasis upon
the danger of beginning to drink; least
of all of omiting altogether the danger
of light drinks, as beer, wine and cider.
Everybody condemns drunkenness to-
day. There is ho need of spending the
pupils time on that. Neither are the
youth and children who will study
physiological temperance ordinarialy
drunkards needing to be reformed. but
they do need to know, and the law in
tends thai they shall be instructed in
the forms of alcohol they will be
tempted to drink. Any commission Of
this phase of the subject, or lack of
emphatic teaching on these subjects
must, therefore, meet with our direct
opposition.
The object of the special legislation
of the past two years in this matter is
to promote temperance by creating an
intelligent sentiment in the rising gen.
Grafton through the best knowledge of
themselves, their enemies-alcoho and
other narcotics-and all the evils tend
ing to destroy body, mind and soul
through the use OF these.
We believe that the basis of the pro-
posed education should be an intelli-
gent knowledge Of what alcohol is-its
presence and unchanged character in
the popular beverages in which it is
commonly used, such as beer, wine and
cider.

Howaru's Life of Henry Ward
Beecher has been issued, and it fiiliy
meets the expectation which awaited
it. It is remarkably bright and in
terestfng book, coming as it does, from
one of the most accomplished Of journ-
alists, and concerning as it does, one OF
the brightest of men.
One of its most remarkable features
is, that it gives us an insight into Mr..
Beech er's own mind and heart, such as
| nothing but the breathing of his inmost
nature to his most trusted and lifelong
friends could fit an author to present.
With the family of the venerable Dea-
con Howard, (the authors father,) who
brought Mr. Beecher to Brooklyn, and
who stood by him as u brother until his
death, he kept up daily intercourse, or
when absent, voluminous correspon-
dence. In all this he breathed into
their sympathetic natures his inmost
| feelings, whether of trial or triumph,
lofty aspiration or great endeavor. and
such letters it is hardly likely can be
found elsewhere on the earth. They
contribute immensely to the interest
and value OF this book (and this onlY,)
picturing the great divine as no other
man can picture him to-day. These
sketches written in nrany moods, with
the utmost trankness and freedom, and
in many lands, reveal this foremost
American citizen in new and uneX-
pected lights.
Other lives OF Beecher may give a
conception of him as seen by an out
sider-this, gives us the inner thought
and character of the man.
Then again this book has been Ere
pared as the labor of a loving heart.
1t is not the work of a mere biographer.
We quote from the authors preface
Gle was great in the pulpit and grand
on the platform; but in the calm rest
fulness Of a private life he was sweet
and helpful. a balm to wounded spirits,
a cheer to the despondent, a sharer in
the good or i'll fortune of his friends"
"That he had enemies, yes; that he
had enmities, no. uis enemies have
had their day, and it is time now for
his friends to speak. AS one of his
friends, to whom he showed affection
when boy, whom he counselled wisely
| in youth, whom he aided in manhood,
for whom he ever had sentiments of
regard aud to whom he wrote con-
cerning the inner workings of his head
and heart, find great satisfaction in
doing what little can to perpetuate
the name and continue the fame of the
wiscst, heartiest, simplest, greatest
| man ever knew"
The author of this book has also been
| able from his intimate knowledge OF
Mr.. Beecher's affairs to give us most
interesting facts concerning his eIorm-
Gus income for forty years; also of his
expenses, gifts, library, art treasurers,
paintings, precious stones, opinions of
distinguished men, ETC., etc.; matters
not likely to be found in and other life
that may be written.
This is in truth a unique book; most
ably prepared and full Of interest from
first to finale. 1t contains perfect
portraitln steel, and many other beau
tiful illustrations, and in Typography,
paper, and binding is superior book,
well worthy of an immense circulation.

apart and stalks eighteen inches apart
in therows-left standing on the north
and west sides of his house, proved to
be a great earthly blessing to him and
his family last winter. Within the

Director Carson, OF the Sioux Falls
and Nillmar road on his return from a
recent visit to st. Paul, said to the
Argus-Leader reporter: y es, you can
say that l have been to St. Paul, and
was with President Spicer two days,
and am completely assured that the
Duluth road will be graded to this city
this year. The road will be built by the
Sioux Falls and Willmar railroad COM
pany. They have the money and will
carry it through as fast as it eau be
built by any company under the sun.
Mr.. Spicer was also very much pleased
with the hearty way in which Sioux
Falls has gone about this matter, and
says that il there are any good things
that can be given her that she shall
have them. There is no question but
Sioux Falls will get all the money back
out OF this road that she ever puts in, a
good many times over. 1t will be the
most profitable investment this city
ever made or will make. Another
thing. You can say that there is not
the first word OF truth in any of the re-
ports of interviews with J.J. Hill in
this matter. Mr.. Hill has not said at
any time that he intended to back this
line or build it. All reports of this
kind. interviews with 1ankton parties
to this effect are made out of whole
cloth. Mr. Hill has said all along and
says now that as far as he knows the
road is to be built by the Sioux Falls
and Willmar railroad company, and
that he understands they have the
means to build it. Mr.. Hill has said to
no one that he intends to build this
road. don't know that there are any
particular news except that the road is
to be built this season. They are at
work on the right-of-way now, and it
will be actively pushed"
